NEWS AND EVENTS

In January 2017, Robinson Brog attorneys, A. Mitchell Greene, Lawrence Hirsh, and Nicholas Menasché, obtained a $700,000 default judgment on behalf of clients of the Firm, the owners and operators of Philippe Chow, a high-end Chinese restaurant in New York City, against a former licensee who operated the Philippe Chow restaurant in Los Angeles. The Philippe Plaintiffs sued the former licensees in December 2014, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York for ongoing violations of their trademarks, service marks, and trade dress after the former licensees closed an authorized West Hollywood restaurant and opened a new, unauthorized Beverly Hills location, without entering into a licensing agreement.
